Contact the National Archives in
Contact the National Archives in Maryland for USS S-1 plans. Be specific (if not you could pay for a deluge of plans for every drawing on that boat...do you really need a drawing of a ballast trim pump manifold?).
For images, go to the Naval Historical Center web site. Click on photographs section branch. They will publish usually all images in their files on the net given time. A year ago they put up S-1 images of the tiny sea plane. Addresses below.
They just posted something new & very interesting but not submarine related. The Bureau of Ships 'Spring Styles'.
Drawings of design variations on Montana, Iowa BB's, Baltimore CA's, many CL's. Ever wanted to see drawings of how a Alaska class battlecruiser would look converted to a Aircraft Carrier? Drawing of a Iowa converted into a carrier? Glad they stuck to just mass producing the excellent Essex. Check it out. Drawings of various Fletcher and Allen M. Sumner DD designs concidered. The drawing converting those beautiful Atlanta class CLAA's into light aircraft carriers? The carrier design considered looks gross, spoiling the original cruiser's lovely lines. Check it out. Looking at the drawings, these are fasinating, and in most cases in hindsight, they did it right making the correct design selections.
